Interannual Variation of Ichthyoplankton Community Structure in the Yellow River Estuary, China
To understand the community structure dynamics of fish eggs and larvae in the Yellow River estuary, four trawl surveys were annually conducted between 2011 and 2014, including at 13 stations in 2011 and 18 stations between 2012 and 2014. A total of 2540 eggs and 143 larvae were collected during the four surveys, comprising 25 species, 8 orders, 16 families, and 20 genera. During the survey period, species numbers of eggs first decreased and then increased, while abundances first increased and then decreased. Larval species numbers exhibited the same trends as for eggs, while larval abundances fluctuated across the four years of the study. The primary species represented by the eggs were Konosirus punctatus, Sillago sihama, and Cynoglossus joyeri, while the larval species primarily comprised Amblychaeturichthys hexanema, Chaeturichthys stigmatias, and Engraulis japonicus. Cluster analysis of species compositions for eggs and larvae revealed the presence of four groups, wherein groups 1–3 comprised communities from 12, 3, and 2 stations, respectively, that were primarily distributed in the eastern part of the estuary. In contrast, group four only comprised communities from one station at the western part of the estuary near Bohai Bay. All biodiversity indices were lowest in 2012 and biodiversity of fish egg and larval communities were most correlated with the water depth among the parameters that were measured. Overall, interannual variation in the distribution and diversity of fish egg and larval communities in the Yellow River estuary reflected the responses of fish to environmental variability.
